Wohooo, I'm so excited to finally start the tarot deck! :D
I'm by no means an expert on tarot and I still have so much to learn, but I just love the idea of taking broad, abstract concepts, interpreting them in your own way, and putting them into images. That process is my absolute favourite thing about drawing. So the whole ...
Hello hello! :]
This one goes out especially to my $20 patrons.
At the beginning of May, I'm going to send out a print of this illustration to everyone in that tier as well as the original to a randomly chosen person.
This image isn't going to be released anywhere else.
I hope you don't mind me drawing...
It took a while for the cover to get approved and updated on the author's website. If you click on the full version, you can see a lot more details. And here it is with the book title. :]
As you can see, I provided two colour variations that I ju...

I just finished this little Spirited Away fanart. I love the movie so much and I've been wanting to draw something for it for a while. Now that I've finished the huuuge book cover I've been working on, I thought it wa...
I've added brand new print sets to my online store. So I thought I'd celebrate with worldwide free shipping on all items! I have original artwork and limited edition prints available.

Hey guys!
I'm working on a book cover for the indie author Randall Fitzgerald right now and I just got green light on the sketch. So I'm sharing the process with you so far.
For the most part, I've stopped taking most freelance jobs, but this one sounded really cool, so I didn't want to pass it up. :)
In the fu...
I've been trying to find a good way to combine multiple images into a single post. As far as I can see, Patreon only lets you select one at a time. And I don't want to spam your inboxes one or twice a day.
I hope you like seeing the sketches for the ink drawings. I don't post them anywhere else (sometimes just little sni...
Hello my lovely patrons! :]
A little housekeeping first: I won't be charging you for March, because I didn't get any illustrations done. No creations, no charge. I'm sorry about the delay and the lack of content. But in the next paragraph, I'll explain why.
To be honest, I've been back since 12 March, but there we...
Hey guys! I hope you are well.
As I've said earlier, I'm taking some time off now. I've been working non-stop for 1 1/2 years and it's about time for a serious vacation.
During that month, I won't be creating any content, so I set the pledges to "per creation" for now. So of course, I won't charge you. I decided ...
This is the final drawing in the series so far.
I've been thinking about a name for the project. It's basically about finding my own voice and going back to the aesthetics that I personally enjoy. Not thinking about possible commercial applications and just exploring and being free. I bet when I'm not thinking about it at al...
I've already finished the ink drawing, but I'm posting the sketch anyway. I like the face in this better than the final. That's just what happens sometimes.

And here is the other drawing I finished today. Tomorrow will be number 20, the last one for now. Then I'm off taking a break.
You can find the original here
I'm really happy with the face on this one. It turned out very much how I envisioned it. :)
The original is up here
I'll be inking this one today. I'm looking forward to rendering the water in particular. Let's see how this turns out!
I thought it might be nice to post the preliminary sketches ahead of time.
I'll be inking this one and another one today. :)
I think this one is my favourite so far. It has got a bunch of things that I like: a female character, Asian aesthetics, patterns, graphic elements, contrast etc.
You can find the original here
Thank you so much for your support, guys!<...
I ran out of two of my cool grey Copic markers, so I had to get creative and just used warm grey for the background. I'm gonna go grab some new markers tomorrow.
I also used some think acrylic paint to add atmospheric perspective to the mountains.

I'll just leave this here without explanation. :)

My default is always drawing pale white people, so I wanted to bring in a bit more diversity. It also gave me the chance to put lighter marks on her skin, which I like.
I'm going to include all preliminary sketches for these drawings in this month's rewards. :)

I needed a bit of rest yesterday, so I took a break from my ink drawings.
But today I'm back with another one! It's one of the characters from Phantasma, Mai. She wanders around at night and pulls little spirits with her as she goes.
I put up the original ink drawing

Masks and birch trees.
This is drawing number 12 and I'm planning on going up to 20 before my vacation. I enjoy exploring those different themes without too much pressure. I don't feel like I need to make a masterpiece and I can always try to do better the next day. :]

Finishing two of these per day is tough, but I'm happy with the result! I hope you guys like it, too. :]

This little drawing features Leigh and her owl. I used ink and copic markers.

In case you were wondering whether I'm doing sketches for the ink drawings: I do!
I fell a little behind on my schedule today. The funny thing is that I have to finish my preliminary digital sketch before it gets dark outside (at 4 p.m.?).
I print the sketch out, stick it to the window and transfer it that way because I do...
Today's ink drawing is an homage to a truly beautiful song.
I hope you like it.

For today's little ink drawing, I felt like doing fanart. Neon Genesis Evangelion has always had such a special place in my heart and influenced me tremendously. The End of Evangelion left me stunned, confused, disturbed and in awe, all at the same time.

Happy new year! Jun is coloured and the rewards are posted.
I want to take the opportunity to thank you for making this project possible. I'm taking small steps, but being able to set aside time for it at all, that is all because of you. I really love the concept of supporting creators directly and leaving out the ...

The year is coming to an end and it's the perfect time to thank you all for the support! Without you, I probably wouldn't have even decided to sit down and get to work on this project. Knowing that you guys are there is such a huge motivation for me and it keeps me going! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I have a bigger post ...
